Ben Pierson

REALTOR®

Ben wasn't born in Austin, but he got here as fast as he could! Born and raised in Dallas, he left his native Texas for a short while for a career in the Navy but his heart has always stayed right here in the Lone Star State. Ben retired as a Command Master Chief from the United States Navy and is also an honorary Admiral of the Texas Navy. With his 20-plus years of military service and sustained community service, his passion for helping people is endless. Having relocated numerous times throughout his Navy career he understands the "ups and downs" that come with moving as well as those of finding, or leaving, their home.

Ben is a family man that is blessed to have his beautiful wife, April, and their four children: Kelsie, Brandon, Landon and Austyn. Meeting his fabulous wife also led him to his second career in real estate! He joined Realty Austin and is partnered with his mother-in-law, Gail Huebel, making him the second half of the Gail and Ben Team. Having over two decades of real estate experience, Gail and Ben share the unique ability to assist clients through many different types of real estate transactions while providing personal attention to each client with a humble attitude.

He earned the military outstanding volunteer service medal while in the Navy and his desire to give back to the community has followed him back to Texas. Additionally, Ben is a lifetime donor of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.

Words cannot begin to describe the appreciation I have for Gail and Ben. This being our first home purchase, we were very nervous about the whole thing, to say the least. But Ben and Gail instructed us to “enjoy the ride; they have it handled.” We definitely enjoyed the experience of our first home purchase. Their team made the whole experience as easy as baking a pie. Even when it came time to sign at closing I was very very nervous but Ben talked me off the ledge so to speak, and the process went without any issues. I would highly recommend Gail and Ben to anyone if I was asked my opinion and will recommend them to anyone I know looking for their new home. They went above and beyond and exceeded mine and my beautiful wife’s expectations and got us our dream home. Thank you for everything!

What a blessing it was to work with Ben and Gail through a somewhat tumultuous, up and down emotional home buying experience. As seemingly one roadblock after another kept popping up, Ben was always available, always positive and encouraging. He continually exhibited a truly warm, professional demeanor. We knew he "really cared"! We will recommend Ben and Gail to anyone looking for a new home.

We had the best experience with Gail and Ben. They were patient and answered all our important and silly questions. We are in love with the home they helped us pick. Ben was a huge support system at our walkthroughs and was on top of our every question. We will forever use Gail and Ben for any real estate needs and refer them to anyone looking to sell or buy. Gail and Ben are both so amazing.

We had such a positive experience buying our first home with the Gail Huebel and Ben Pierson team as our realtors! They are both so attentive and thoughtful and really made the process seamless, answering all our questions and assuaging all our fears being first time buyers. They went above and beyond, bringing the closing papers and a notary after hours for us in our apartment when my husband and I couldn't get the time off our new jobs during business hours. They also worked with my in-laws when they were buying a house in Round Rock, and they were super happy with them as well. We all moved to Texas from the Northeast this summer and having such competent and professional realtors made the move so much smoother. I highly recommend the Gail and Ben team at Realty Austin!

Gail and Ben provided exemplary service that exceeded our expectations. They were warm, kind, thoughtful and professional. They were helpful in areas that are not necessarily related to that of an agent. Gail and Ben were available at every step of the process. We would use them again and would highly recommend them to others in need of an agent.

Ben was terrific and provided top-notch service to us throughout the entire process. We deeply appreciate his professionalism, his integrity and the fact that we felt he cared about us and as such acted in our best interests at all times. I would not hesitate in the least bit to recommend Ben's services to anyone else interested in selling or buying a house. There's not too much we can say about Gail other than she is a fierce competitor. Without going into the details, we are overall pleased with our experience with Realty Austin.

I couldn’t be happier. Gail did, in fact, provide exemplary service and stayed on top of everything. I felt like I was her only client. Gail helped me every step of the way. I will definitely recommend Gail and Realty Austin to all my friends.

We are so pleased to be able to express our sincere gratitude to the Gail and Ben Team for their outstanding guidance in achieving our real estate program goal in the sale of property and relocation to another site in Texas. They offered and carried out exemplary performance in achieving this goal for us. The dedication of this Gail and Ben far surpasses that of any real estate professionals of the past 25 years, that we have experienced. They went "the extra mile" in assuring that each step of a difficult plan was carefully orchestrated to provide unsurpassed service to us. We, thereby, are anticipating additional real estate activities in the near future with this special team.
